Who wrote this
Written by someone who has spent 12 years with young children
Twelve years in the same room, week after week, with children and their parents
In all that time the same question came up again and again, usually quietly: is it something I did?
Almost none of those parents ever got a full answer. Appointments are short, waiting lists are long, and a number on a form does not tell you what to do on a Tuesday morning. I wrote Sensory Portrait to put the useful part of that conversation into a portrait a parent can keep: what their child is doing and why, in plain words, and what tends to help.

Your child's portrait
Written for this child only
Every portrait is written fresh from your own answers — nothing here is picked from a set of stock results. This is something for parents to read and think with. It is not a medical opinion and does not replace one. If something about your child worries you, please speak with a professional who can see your child in person.
Notes for parents
The everyday moments that puzzle you, explained in plain words.
Why Does My Child Struggle With Dance Moves and Jump Rope?
Always a beat behind in the dance, tangled in the jump rope, and saying "I can't." Why copying moves is harder than it looks, and how to help.
Why Does My Child Laugh and Hit Me?
Not angry, not upset, just laughing, and then a smack. What research does and doesn't tell us, why it may happen, and calm ways to respond.
Why Does My Child Refuse Socks? When One Seam Can Ruin the Morning
Coat on, shoes waiting, and the sock comes off again. What may be going on with sock seams, what research does and doesn't show, and what tends to help.
